I’ve been doing keto for 6 months and lost 20 in the first 2 months. I then stalled for 4 months, yes it was frustrating and I kept wondering what I was doing wrong. I tested Ketones, logged food in cronometer, played around with my macros but nothing was changing as far as weight.
That being said, I could tell there were lots of other changes happening though like increased energy, mood balance and mental clarity to name a few. For the first time in my adult life I have able to maintain my weight without large fluctuations.
For me I just keep telling myself to keep calm and keto on. I keep reminding myself that I had a lifetime of eating horribly and I’m sure my body needs time to correct and heal itself.
In my experience my body has a few body weight set points it likes to hover around before it finally gives in and let’s go. After a 4 month stall I dropped 10 lbs in a week and am maintaining that easily.
I know my body is in a healing process and it’s just going to take time before it finds its happy weight. I feel so much better in all sorts of other ways that weight is a secondary concern for me at this point. I did decide to work with a nutritional practitioner and am getting some testing done just to be sure nothing is wrong and to optimize my health as much as I can.
